Hez Jouj

Hez Jouj (“pick up two”) is the card game of Moroccan cafés. In virtual reality, you sit at the table: wood, zellij all around, mint tea, and opponents who hold their cards, draw and slam them down right in front of you.

HOW TO PLAY • 40 Spanish-suited cards, 5 each. Play a card of the same suit or the same rank as the top card. • The 2 – “Hez jouj!”: the next player picks up two… unless they answer with a 2, and the count goes up (4, 6, 8…). • The 7 is wild: you call the next suit. • The ace – “Matl3bch!”: the next player misses a turn. • Nothing to play? Draw one card, and your turn passes. • Empty your hand first to win the round and score the cards left in the other hands.

IN VR • Your cards stay in your hand: hold the fan in one hand (left or right), take a card with the grip of the other, lay it on the pile or throw it. • Point and pull the trigger to play or draw. Hand tracking works too: pinch to grab. • Seated and comfortable: the camera never moves on its own.

MODES • Against the computer, 2 to 4 players, three levels, house rules (4, 5 or 7 cards…). • Online quick match, 1 vs 1 or 4 players, at the same tables as the Hez Jouj mobile game. • Moroccan voices in Darija; interface in Darija, French and English.
